soft, fluffy, sweet, delicious... Perhaps these words can not fully summarize the characteristics of Shakima, but in any case, in a variety of points, Shakima is quite popular with consumers. But behind this "sweet", the ugly side is hidden.
according to CCTV's "first time" reports, in Zhengzhou, Henan, Xinxiang City, more than 10 Shakima processing plants produced by the Shakima appearance is bright, the price is quite cheap, one of the 3.7 yuan per Jin. Many manufacturers admit that borax is added to the production process of Sha Ma Ma. After testing, these sicker contains borax, and the maximum amount of Borax in each kilogram is 4.62 grams per kilogram, and under normal conditions, adults can be intoxication with 1 to 3 grams of borax.
the exposed enterprises include more than ten families, such as the Chai Guo village run dragon food factory, ten Li Town, the city of Zhengzhou City, which have "Xu Fu Ji", "happy sheep", "special beauty" and so on. Shakima's family told a reporter that Shakima was quite simple to make flour and eggs together and put it together in a machine to make a short strip, after baking, and then mixing with sugar, cutting, and even completing it. The real secret of Shakima's long shelf life is actually borax, an industrial chemical raw material. Borax can accelerate the expansion and color change to make the color more colorful. At the same time, the reporter also found that in the sugar pot next to a dog nest is a dog nest, the whole production area without any disinfection facilities, workers do not need to disinfect wear clothes... In summer, flies fly and dirt flies. How can food produced in such an environment ensure its safety? Even more ridiculously, these Sha Qi Ma are the same as QS. It is not surprising that people doubt the credibility of documents and the credibility of relevant governments.
today, when food safety is in flood, consumers should learn to choose safe food. The "sweet" Sha Qi Ma contains borax, and the same can be found in other foods. The addition of Borax in meat products and various kinds of pastries can make pastries more crisp and meat products more tender. Adding borax in Saudi Arabia and beef balls has become an open secret in the industry. This requires the wisdom of consumers to identify borax.
